A majority of TTC commissioners loyal to Mayor Rob Ford voted to end Webster’s tenure as TTC chief general manager Tuesday — but as part of his severance — he’ll likely be on the TTC payroll for two years.

That’s eight months longer than if commissioners had just let his contract expire in July 2013.

But Stintz — who voted against terminating Webster’s contract — did confirm that the TTC chief general manager’s compensation is consistent with other executives who would receive two years pay when being fired “without just cause.”

If that’s the case, Webster — who made about $280,000 in 2010 — would earn more than $500,000.

“This fits the Ford reputation, he pays people a lot of money to do nothing,” Vaughan said. “When it comes to doing nothing, he just whips a chequebook out. He’ll pay you anything to do nothing.”

Sources tell the Sun the closed-door meeting where commissioners discussed firing Webster and replacing him was chaotic. Some councillors shouted and swore at times during the debate.

“It was typical Ford — no homework,” one source said, describing the moment when it became clear Andy Byford, the chief operating officer, couldn’t be named interim chief GM due to a work visa issue.

The commission went into “anybody but Webster” mode and started considering other candidates including TTC general secretary Vince Rodo. Five commissioners eventually agreed on having Byford assume Webster’s duties without changing his title.

Councillor Maria Augimeri — a TTC commissioner — said without a chief general manager, it is unclear who will deal with Infrastructure Ontario, Metrolinx, the Premier’s office and companies contracted by the TTC.
